I am surprised at the many unsupportive responses to this venture. I think it is very important to tell the story of the shocking event that rocked our picture postcard town of Montvale and what contributing factors could have led up to a young man killing his entire family as it relates to much of the violence that continues all the across the country with teenagers killing their families and going into schools and randomly killing their teachers and classmates. Maybe this will interest more parents to be intune to what is going on in their child's life when they are in school and how their children are interacting with their peers. Teachers could benefit by perhaps getting involved when they see young kids being mistreated in school instead of turning a blind eye, and perhaps kids can see how continuous cruelty to others that may look or seem different can cause sadness and pain to that person and possibly effect that person's life to the extent it did Harry's. Don't get me wrong, I am not condoning how Harry chose to deal with his mental anguish and he deserves to be where he is, I think that anyone that grew up in Montvale with Harry cannot deny that he was horribly teased & abused by his classmates since gradeschool. I also want to mention that I know Harry is responsible for the deaths of his family and not Ronald.
I lived in montvale from 1965-1978. I went to school with Harry from 2nd grade thru highschool. Two of my younger brothers went to school with Ronald and Eric. So needless to say we knew the whole family and their family life was not much better than their personal life. I know for sure Harry's wasn't. He was abused in school and he was abused at home, For harry there was no safe place. Looking back on it all as an adult saddens me beyond belief. If there are any grammar or spelling errors, get over it, you have way to much time on your hands.
